Empire of Storms by Sarah J Maas
A LOT happens in this book. Holy crap. A+++ for plot movement. I should have known that Aelin showing up in Terrasen after two decades would not be as simple as just stepping up to her throne. Darrow tells her she is not the Queen unless the other nobles give their support, but I notice […]

So Aelin returns to Rifthold, where the story began. The same characters are in play but everything feels different. Everything is different and only in part because Aelin has changed so much. Choal starts off being plenty pissy, but to be fair the man has a point. I’m sure he was hoping she would return […]

A large part of the storyline in this book is the hunt for Andarna’s family and that raises so many questions for me. It’s confirmed that the dragons lay eggs but also that they are involved in raising the children. So are they raised communally? By their biological parents? Or by their “breeds’ and Andarna […]

So in the first couple of chapters The Assembly votes to send Violet and the other cadets back to Basgiath. This kind of makes sense from the rebel point of view I guess, but it’s not so good for the cadets when it becomes obvious that they are being targeted for assassination. I guess once […]

Dorien had a sad in the last book but he has moved on in this one. Good for him. Celaena’s – sorry Aelin’s – new environment is very different from her old one. She a nobody there, for a starter. With no connections she seems to be at a loss. It’s also interesting to me […]

Celaena has won the competition and taken her place as the King’s Champion. This means killing people – a lot of people. He gives her a name and she returns with a head in a bag. Nobody knows that the heads do not really belong to the people she was sent to kill. For the […]

The hardest thing about reading a popular (and LONG!) series when all your books come from the library is trying to get them in order. So my understanding is, that this book was written third but was intended to be read first. And I’m really glad I didn’t read it first because man, I hated […]

Violet Sorrengail is the third child of General Lilith Sorrengail, who leads the Basgiath War College in Navarre. General Sorrengail is a dragon rider, and is incredibly proud of her two older children who followed in her footsteps. So much so that she forces Violet to give her dreams of becoming a Scribe like her […]

The library hold list for anything Sarah J Mass is crazypants. Finally this book arrived – looking absolutely tortured. It’s very obviously a popular series. I guess I was just lucky that I actually got the first one in the series. I have all the sequels on hold, so hold your breath to find out […]
